Excerpt from text being read during performance while it was also being shredded and fed to the worms:

Trans temporalities are in constant metamorphosis. There is no definite moment ‘when’ or ‘how’ my own ‘transformation’ started. It cannot be pinned down to for instance when they decided on top-surgery, when they had it, or when they came out as non-binary. We all constantly change and modify – some just more visibly than others. Ends are also beginnings, as the ‘decomposing’ element of transformative queer art practices, activism and care show – and as our worms, fungi around us and other decomposers constantly remind us.

'Decomposing' was a performance made specifically for the release of the book 'The Exposed Eye #2' (Helga Härenstam and Anna Strand). The performance was based on the contribution that Louise Wolthers and MC Coble collaborated on for this publication.
